The big deal for Benoît Paire. The Avignon player who reached the quarter-finals in Cincinnati on August 20 has not passed the second round in a tournament for a month. This does not prevent him this Monday the day after his new disillusion (elimination of entry to Nur-Sultan) from gaining four places in the standings and thus making his return to the top fifty in the world (he occupies 49th place). Ugo Humbert, for his part, regained 25th place, his best ranking to date, despite his three straight first round defeats at Cincinnati, the US Open and Metz, on his home soil. Adrian Mannarino cannot say the same. The Ile-de-France, absent from the courts since his elimination in the second round in New York against Stefanos Tsitsipas, tumbles eleven ranks in the new classification. At the same time, he left the Top 50 (+54).
Bonzi and Mannarino retreat, Hurkacz close to the Top 10
A few places lower, Benjamin Bonzi is still the fifth best ranked Frenchman in ATP. The Gardois, who remained on three titles in three weeks and fifteen consecutive victories, however lost three places (64th) after having to give up at the outset in Nur-Sultan against Ruusuvuori for his return to the main circuit. No change at the level of the Top 10. On the other hand, Hubert Kukacz, twelfth, could very quickly integrate it for the first time in his career. Eleventh in his best ranking, the Pole who won his fourth tournament in Metz on Sunday in … four finals moved from 13th to 12th place on Monday to the detriment of Denis Shapovalov (13th). He is only 107 points behind the 10th in the world, the Norwegian Casper Ruud.
